Decommited from Clemson. No shock there. My question is does Clemson still honor the rest of his high school team's scholarship?

Let the game$$$$$$ begin!!!!  Bama? Ole Miss? $mubarn?

Why do we always assume other programs are paying their players but we are not? I'm not saying that none of the boosters give out gifts, but I doubt that Nick Saban supports it. Alabama has their pick of players without paying a dime. I've seen interviews with Razorback football players with cars or fans vastly more expensive than I could buy. I hope our program is clean, but I suspect that boosters find ways of circumventing rules.

His older brother is at Ole Miss. Let's hope he doesn't go there.

I'm not sure if anyone should be surprised or shocked if he ends up in Oxford this next year.

Not sure it's a done deal; he has made comments along the lines of wanting to go to Alabama but he may feel the family pressure to join his brother at Ole Miss.  From what I've read, he's a much, much better prospect than his brother was, so I'm thinking that Alabama finds a way to get him to Tuscaloosa.

I'm sure it's nothing that a $500 retainer can't fix.  Contact JackRabbit Hog for payment instructions.

If we pay our players we suck at it. Evidence of lack of pay can be found in recruiting results.

Wouldn't be surprised if this kid already got his payday from Clemson, spent all the loot, and now trying to land another contract.

no, he can think Hugh Freeze for taking them to a bowl game and making these kids play hard..  freeze will turn them around.. 

Hogs12

They need to win the next two games to be bowl eligible but I get ur point. They certainly seem to be playing hard. I still don't get why Ole Miss is getting so much interest from higher players and even signing them this year. Is Coach Freeze and his staff that great recruiters and/or players are just really naive. Arkansas needs to be out recruiting Ole Miss period. Arkansas offers everything better than Ole Miss does and this is coming from a Michigan State fan.

Nutt did that and more his first 2 years at OM. The preacher-cheerleader stuff works for a short time then fizzles out.

RN signing with OM is so his parents have both kids at one school and Nutt signed lil bro to set that up.

Well, I gotta tip my hat to the Hooter on that one then.

Denzel was a major, major grade risk that somehow made it to Ole Miss. Had he had good grades, he would have been possibly a 5-star recruit himself and he wouldn't have went to Ole Miss.
